September 2014 Chapter Meeting

Application Visibility and Security

Today’s businesses have an unprecedented use of technology - from BYOD initiatives to the Internet of Things - to drive profitability with increased marketing and sales, while controlling costs and improving productivity.  But how do you know if the applications are being adopted, if your change management plans are working, and if the use of the technology is in line with your policies?

Please join us for an in depth discussion of application visibility and security.  We will explore real world examples of how application visibility within an enterprise provides the business with useful information across the dimensions of utility, security, experience, and operations.  Further, we will also take a look at how enterprises can leverage this visibility for enabling control, allowing proliferation of business relevant applications while minimizing vulnerabilities and risk. Together, these concepts allow for an adaptive technology culture while controlling exposure, ensuring operational function, and enabling business success.

 Please register by Wednesday, September 10, 2014.
